At the start of every fall season, my boys jubilantly jump around in the middle of Wal-Mart when they see the hues of blacks, oranges and purples that indicate the beginning of the Halloween buying season. I laugh out loud even as I write this because you know only children would be ecstatic at the prospect of shopping at Wal-Mart. Most bodies that file into the horribly fluorescent lit hovel of a store carry a jaded scowl on their face.
Not my boys.
They.
Love.
Life.
Every inch of it.
And I bask in their excitement in these moments; my heart fills and pains at the amount of love in which it carries.
The truth about my new love of photograpy begins here - these moments when nothing else in the world matters except the happiness of our children - are the moments I want to capture and remember always. Adorning masks and running around as superheroes in our backyard fills them with a contagious excitement. I will always remember how complete I feel when I watch them enjoy their super powers given to them by a few measly scraps of bright colored fabric.
